Then what do you require?

[heirbrained]

...There's nothing really to be done...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Then what are you going to do about it?

[heirbrained]

[cry

anything other than cry

neither of those are good answers. it's not supposed to be so difficult to figure out how to get it together!!]

...Setting it aside for the moment seems to be the best idea...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Do you need some time to recover?

[heirbrained]

I do not need time.

[time would just be NICE.]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

You've taken quite a bit of time there already.

[heirbrained]

I know that—!

[ffffffffff!!]

What do you want me to do?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Stand up and look at it again.

[heirbrained]

What's the point in looking at it again—?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

What's the point in not looking at it again? Or is it that those few seconds were truly all you can handle...

[heirbrained]

[MAKES A FRUSTRATED NOISE

but stands up to look at it again because what else is a guy gonna do. though he's stiff, crossing his arms tightly]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[watches him rather than the mirror]

[heirbrained]

[he's glaring at it, expression twitching like he still might want to collapse into embarrassment, but it's balanced out by the venomous look he's giving himself, as if he were looking down on another person entirely]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

...It's still the truth of something you desire...

[heirbrained]

[nnnnnnng]

So am I supposed to be happy about that?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

You're supposed to accept it.

[heirbrained]

I am not... not accepting it!

[spitting it out. THAT IS THE BEST I CAN DO REALLY.]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Should I congratulate you again?

[heirbrained]

That is not what I am saying!

[thinkoutsidethebox]

If you can be so debilitated by seeing the truth of yourself, don't you think that's much more of a failure than having the desire in the first place? There's no problems with wanting something like that...

[heirbrained]

I—that's—nnnnn...

[he does think about that one for a bit. maybe all the paranoid doom prophesying about how it would give people power over me would only apply if I allowed it to debilitate me like that??]

Perhaps...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Perhaps?

[heirbrained]

Perhaps... you have a point.

Though perhaps it's also too early to tell.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Well, whenever you like, I can do that to you in reality. What do you think will happen then...?
